Getting to know Simone Borghei
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, who has worked several clinical specialties including the pediatric unit, pediatric intensive care unit, adult medical-surgical unit, telemetry unit, adult inpatient psychiatry unit, and postpartum unit as a registered nurse. I received my Master of Science in Nursing from Azusa Pacific University in 2020. After graduation, I completed a one-year residency for the Veteran Affairs in Sacramento and worked with veterans with severe mental illnesses, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I have provided psychotropic medication management in a mental health clinic, inpatient mental health units and providing psychiatric consults on medical units for two years. For the past year, I have been working at Foresight Mental Health and provided medication management while treating the whole person through a holistic mindset.
ADHD Treatment Policy: Foresight requires validated, objective ADHD testing before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment. Previous testing and records from outside providers may be accepted following clinical review. If testing is needed, Foresight offers IVA-2 ADHD testing as a self-pay service.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I became inspired to work in the field of mental health care as I worked in several specialties of nursing and I naturally gravitated toward working with patients, who have mental health concerns. I learned the importance of listening to my patients first and then advocate for my patient's wellbeing by partnering with them to create an individualized treatment plan that focuses on improving their overall quality of life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I have learned how to implement active listening and supportive therapy to collaborate with patients to provide them with optimal mental health outcomes. Motivational interviewing skills are are utilized to identify areas of resistance toward previous treatment to offer holistic treatment options.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health:
ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed.
Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight.
Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services.
Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues.
State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care.

I really enjoyed her I really felt heard and understood which I have not been experiencing lately. I really feel like she is going to help me. I would recommend her to everyone. I trust her already and I don’t feel judged also which is huge for me.

I thought the appointment went very well and I felt put at ease. My personal history and issue was explored and listened to with good feedback.
Ms. Borghei was very warm and clear in her explanation of how she approaches her therapy and how we could move forward with mine.
